    Correct Answer
    A. Rustle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "rustle" because it is the most appropriate word to describe the soft sound made by leaves when the wind blows. "Paddock" refers to an enclosed field, "alarmed" means feeling fear or distress, and "windbreak" refers to a barrier that protects against the wind. None of these words accurately describe the sound of leaves in the wind.
